Making Waves: Crosscurrents in the Study of Nineteenth-Century Art
, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, iv + 277 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:45 b/w, 61 col., 3 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503584409.
Summary Making Waves: Crosscurrents in the Study of Nineteenth-Century Art honours the life work of Petra ten-Doesschate Chu, who continues to lead the field in the study of the art of the nineteenth century. The twenty-eight essays in this book are authored by some of her many friends, students, and colleagues, including seasoned academics and those at the beginning of their careers; museum professionals and private-sector arts administrators; and American, European, and Chinese scholars. Following Petra Chu's example, and avoiding opaque theoretical language and extended technical analysis, authors present original ideas, based primarily on the study of objects and their documented historical contexts. Though their methodologies are diverse, their purposes are clear and their language straight-forward. The essays thoughtfully and respectfully address the solid reality of the nineteenth century in all of its complex (and sometimes repugnant) sensibilities. They disrupt traditional art historical categories and methodologies, and highlight topics that have been long ignored and overlooked. Making Waves demonstrates, in no uncertain terms, that art historians still have much to say to each other and to their readers, and that nineteenth-century art has only begun to be explored in all its complexity and variety.

Popular Song in the 19th Century
, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 384 pages, Size:210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:31 b/w, 26 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503600789.
Summary Many new and exciting kinds of popular song emerged in the 19th century, and the contributors to this volume place the development and reception of these songs in their social and cultural context. The chapters are grouped into four parts. Part I investigates border crossings: an internationally known gondola song, popular songs in the Southern United States, the impact of American music in Germany, and Brazilian music in Europe. Part II concentrates on public and private spaces: the cabarets of Montmartre, salons in Berlin and Prague, popular songs and the church organ, and theatre songs in Portugal and Spain. Part III takes up the subject of social struggle: German protest songs, Hussitism and Czech songs, and Antebellum American popular songs. Part IV is concerned with matters of cultural identity: songs of Flanders, songs of the Russian 'Slavic spirit', urban songs in Greece after the War of Independence (1821), and rural and urban Serbian songs. Taken as a whole, the chapters reveal the importance of understanding different historical and cultural environments when investigating the subject matter, structure and meaning of 19th-century popular song.

A Critical and Historical Corpus of Florentine Painting. Mediaeval Panel Painting in Tuscany. 12th to 13th century. A Supplement
Boskovits, Miklos: A Critical and Historical Corpus of Florentine Painting. Mediaeval Panel Painting in Tuscany. 12th to 13th century. A Supplement. Giunti, 2021. 799 pages, fully illustrated in colour. Hardback. 31 x 24cms. The Mediaeval Panel Painting in Tuscany is the catalogue raisonné of twelfth and thirteenth century Tuscan paintings. The project's goal was to draw up a complete index of Italian panel paintings from the origins to the end of the thirteenth century. The book consists of five parts. The first, dedicated to twelfth-century panel paintings, examines the earliest works from Tuscany as a whole since it is not possible to pinpoint variations among local schools in those years. It is only starting from the thirteenth century that Boskovits could begin to trace the developments of figurative language in Tuscany's main cities, from Lucca to Pisa. The book then focuses on thirteenth-century Sienese painting, reconstructing the career of the Master of Tressa, through to the works of Duccio di Buoninsegna up to year 1300, omitting those paintings that by then were in dialogue with Giotto's innovations. The last part is dedicated to paintings from the Arezzo area, focusing largely on the career of Margarito d'Arezzo.

Panta Pei Change in Thirteenth-Century Byzantine Architecture, Art, and Material Culture
, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 449 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:24 b/w, 149 col., 3 maps b/w, 2 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503602684.
Summary The year 1204, when Byzantium was conquered by the participants of the Fourth Crusade, marks a major and violent change on several levels, including politics and the economy, society and religion, as well as art and culture. The once powerful empire experienced both the humiliation of foreign occupation and its political subjugation. After its re-establishment in 1261, Byzantium had become a shrunken state, surrounded by aggressive enemies, while a number of its vital areas, such as Crete and Cyprus, together with the Aegean and Ionian islands, remained under foreign rule. These changes influenced not only the artistic output but the everyday life of the Byzantines as well. New ideas, new preferences, and new techniques are attested in architecture, painting, sculpture, and minor arts, all of which developed a new dynamic. According to the Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesos (c. 535 - c. 475 B.C.), whose aphorism ????? ???, i.e. everything flows, is highlighted in the title of this collective volume, change is the fundamental essence of the universe. The book aims to provide an up-to-date, well-rounded, and balanced overview of the long thirteenth century, by examining aspects of the artistic and cultural transformations created and developed within the new framework of co-existence among Byzantines, Latins, Slavs, and Ottomans.

Ars Habsburgica. New Perspectives on Sixteenth-Century Art
, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 268 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:45 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503595948.
Summary Starting from a political reality, which is, at the same time, artistic and cultural, the book Ars Hasburgica aims to review the still so common historiographical conception of the Renaissance that conceives this period from a geographically Italocentric, artistically classicist and politically centered the idea of "national" arts and schools. But Renaissance is a more global and complex phenomenon. What this book aims to offer is an idea of the art of that period that considers the role played by the Habsburg dynasty and its various courts in this period, trying to verify whether, by applying other historiographic models, and having the art of the Casa de Austria as a focus, traditional ideas can continue to be maintained well into the twenty-first century. We refer to the so-called "Vasari paradigm", on which art history of the sixteenth century has largely been built over the last centuries. It is also intended to structure concepts about the art of the period not so much around nationalist considerations and identities of the arts, but to raise these issues throughout ideas such as that of the court as a political, artistic and cultural sphere, in the wake of the classical studies by Norbert Elias, Amedeo Quondam or Carlo Ossola.
